Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9, 1916.

Original application filed .Tune 21, 1913, Serial No. 771,204. Divided and this application filed March 10,

To all ywhom t may concern Be it known that l, MARGARET L. NoXoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hat-Pin, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.

My invention has for its object to provide a hat pin with a pin tongue which is connected with the pin by a spring which is bent back and forth longitudinally of the pin tongue to permit the ready disengagement of the spring from the hair and veil on the head of the woman making use of the hat pin.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

rEhe subi ect matter of this application was originally present in an application iled on lune 21, 1913, and which bears Serial No. 771,204, Letters Patent numbered 1,13%,898 having been granted on the said application under date of April 6, 1915. The present application is a division of the said earlier application.

ln the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the 'views in which- Figure 1 is a View showing my improved hat pin; Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of Fig. 1; and F ig. 3 is a view sliowing'how the hat pin is used.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that the hat pin is provided with a body 5 and a pin tongue 6, one end of the pin tongue 6 being connected with the body 5 by a spring 7 which is secured to the body 5 at 8, the spring then being bent away from the body at 9 and longitudinally of the pin tongue 6 in the general direction of the pointed end 10 of the pin tongue. The spring is then bent at 11 longitudinally of the pin tongue 6 and away from the pointed end 10 of the pin tongue as at 12, the spring 7 being then bent at 18 where it is con- Serial No. 13,435.

nected with the pin tongue 6. It will be seen by referring to Fig. l of the drawings that the spring 7 is rounded at the points where it is bent so that there will be openings between the parts of the spring to permit its ready disengagement from a veil or the hair on the head of the woman making use of the hat pin. The pointed end 10 of the pin tongue is secured to the body 5 by a pin catch 14.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. 1n a hat pin, a body, a pin tongue, and a spring bent back and forth in substantially the same plane as the pin tongue at one side of the body and with the terminal of the spring disposed against the said side of the body and parallel therewith, the said terminal being secured to the said side of the body, and the pin tongue extending from the other terminal of the spring, and a catch on the body for the pin tongue.

2. 1n a hat pin, a body, a pin tongue, and a spring bent forward, then back and then forward again and with the four parts of the spring disposed substantially parallel and with one terminal of the spring disposed against one side of the body parallel therewith and secured thereto, the pin tongue extending forward from the other terminal of the spring.

3. In a hat pin, body, a pin tongue, and a spring having a portion free from the body and the pin tongue, and bent rearwardly in the general direction of both terminals for connecting at one terminal with the body, the pin tongue extending forwardly from the other terminal, for the purpose specified.

ln testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses.
